Greetings from Texas

Five years plus pipesmoker here; I like tobacco, books and death metal. I have been a lurker here for some time and have learned a lot from the varied threads. Looking forward to interacting with you all.

Thanks, all. Drums, I am an amateur musician but have been writing about music for approximately two decades and have other industry experience. I remain an avid listener: any given day you might find me cranking some Bob Marley, or maybe Ildjarn, and quite often, Carl Nielsen.

Howdy from DFW!! You mentioned B&Ms, back in the '70s/'80s there used to be several independent as well as chain B&Ms up here in N. Texas. 'Twas the hey day of retail pipe shops. But the web and e'tailing has put an end to that !! But with that said, we have sooo much more 'baccy available to us than any number of B&Ms could provide back then! Enjoy your time here and glad to see another Texan !!
